Women Votes.

At the solicitation Of some Of our
lady friends. We publish the following
reason "Why should women vote"
Because voting is the authoritative
expression of our opinion respecting
public matters. Because public mat
tiers, socalled, when analysed, are
found TO be private matters writ
large"
Because these private matters writ
large" are founa TO concern women
just as closely as man. and to be as in.
timately connected with her interests
as with his.
Because public matters are what?
/. Sanitary regulations. which being
interpreted. are the things which con-
cern the health of families. Is not the
health of family a mothers as truly
as fathers business
2. Pure. abundant water. Is water
not matter of domestic, and, there
fore, feminine concernment?
8. Public parks and breathing
places. That is, being interpreted.
places to which mothers, teachers and
nurses take the children; and cannot
women pass an intelligent opinion
upon their location and extent?
4. Good walks and pavements well
cared for. Who knows q good walk
or road better than q petticoated
woman?

veyances and the like. Is here a mat

| 8. Orderly streets free Of vicious infiu'
ences and protected from criminal
fawlessness. Is this matter Of slight
moment to women living in lands
which have outgrown the harem?
Z. Education. Do the fathers usu'
ally think this matter which the
mothers have no power to wisely pass
upon?
s. Economy In public expenditure
and capable and faithful service from
officials. Are women so much more
extravagant than men that they can
not be trusted to help decide how high
taxes should be Or are they % de

Q. Care Of the criminal, the unfortu

A court martial is in progress at Fort
Russell, having been called principally
for the purpose Of trying Private Barton
of Co. ii. 18th infantry, who is charged
with having resisted and assaulted his
superior officer, Sergt. Bradley. Bradley
came down to Cheyenne to round up and
take home one OF the soldiers who was in
the city and INDUCING in a big spree at
that time. While so doing it is alleged
that Barton interfered and endeavored to
prevent the arrest, and in so doing as
saulted and struck the sergeant. While
in time of peace the penalty for this of
Tense is not so severe, yet in war time it
was, and the writer remembers that out
of eleven military executions which he
witnessed during the war, one soldier was

Yesterday and last night Cheyenne was
the recipient of the almost constant atten-
ton of a good old fashioned snow which
so conducted itself that the snow came
right down in copious quantities without
making any fuss over the matter.
Although the storm as far as could be
learned was quite an extensive one, it has
not resulted thus far in a blockade of the
trains. If all the snow hat has fallen
since yesterday had remained on the
ground there would have been at least
five inches by this time.

The Next Meeting.

Someone telephoned to the court house
yesterday afternoon TO know whether the
commissioners had adjourned. Mr.. JEFF
frey being busy at the time, another
official answered the telephone, saying
that the board had adjourned. The in
quiry then came as to when the board
would meet again. Mr.. Jeffrey instructed
the official to reply that he didn't think
the commissioners would meet again until
the next regular meeting, which as nearly
everybody knows would be about the lst
of April next. The official at the tele.
phone, however, answered back: Say;
Mr.. Jeffrey thinks the board won't meet
again until the next meeting" An explo-
sion of laughter followed this, in which
the official Joined as soon as he saw the
point, and he wasn't long in so doing.
